Well this is the email I got back from Bryan at SMC when I asked him about this


Bryce,

For starters, I would def. raise the cutoff on the ESC. I feel safe with mine set from the factory. I don't have the castle software to change mine, but when the truck goes into LV mode, the packs are coming out of the truck reading around 6.60 to 6.70 per each pack. As for the puffy packs...If you let them cool down and wait a while they "should" shrink back to their normal size. If they do not, there is damage done beyond repair. If you would like, you can send them in for us to test if you do indeed feel they are damaged or you no longer get maximum power and runtime from them. I know it doesn't help but we do have a 50% off the MAP price for warranty of a defective pack. $42.75 per pack for a replacement is still not cheap, but it does help a little if the consumer makes a mistake, intentionally or not. Please let me know if you would like us to check out the packs and keep me informed on the swelling issue. Did they go back down or are they staying puffed up?

Thanks,

Bryan @ SMC



Its really hard to tell if packs are puffed or not now, if not near impossible. So i'm just gonna keep running and keeping an eye on them and take this as a important Lipo lesson learned. Changed the LVC to 3.2v. Damn that Castle link is godsend for these kinda things.
